Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 119 Does the Young Uncle Want to Date Another Woman?

Lin Banxia curiously held it in her hand and took a closer look. This kind of thing could only be seen in old historical dramas set in the past.

Why would Mom keep something like this? However, this watch was incredibly well-crafted. Even though it was old, it was by no means ordinary.

Lin Banxia wondered if this might have belonged to her grandfather. However, her grandparents had both passed away long ago, and the family had fallen into decline. Her uncle, burdened by immense gambling debts, fled abroad to escape.

Lin Banxia sighed, fiddling with the pocket watch until, suddenly, it popped open.

Inside, there was actually a photograph! And a gold ring.

Lin Banxia was utterly astonished. She spread the photo out in her palm and examined it—there was an unfamiliar woman in it.

But she was beautiful, poised, and her smile was sweet and gentle.

Who was she?

Lin Banxia furrowed her brows. Because Mom had passed away so early, she had absolutely no idea what kind of friends Mom might have had.

Perhaps the elegant woman in the photo from the pocket watch was one of Mom’s friends.

The ring itself seemed quite ordinary in style. The only thing extraordinary about it was the sapphire embedded in the middle.

Lin Banxia couldn’t help but pick it up and examine it carefully. This must’ve belonged to Mom, right? Suddenly, she took off the necklace she was wearing, threaded the ring onto it, and hung it back around her neck.

She wanted to carry something of Mom’s with her, so that Mom could always protect her and keep her safe from harm caused by malicious people.

Holy Emperor High School was a prestigious, nationally renowned academy for elites.

The entire campus was built halfway up a mountainside, resembling a castle. Inside, the decor and furnishings were modeled after palace designs, allowing every student who entered to feel like a prince or princess.

The investor for this school was also the Huo Family.

At this moment, at the school’s entrance, Tong Keke’s petite figure darted out.

Finally, it was Friday. She couldn’t wait to go home and see her uncle.

A few days ago, she tried to video call him, but he refused to answer, leaving her drowning in longing for him.

Tong Keke simply never learned her lesson. Even though she knew her uncle didn’t allow her to visit the hospital, she was aware that she could only see him if she went there.

And for some reason, she felt that as she grew older, her uncle seemed to avoid her more and more.

When she came home from school, he was often working late at the hospital. When she was at school, he rarely called her to check on her.

Tong Keke had been feeling gloomy and troubled these past few days. She really wanted to see her uncle—even if it meant being scolded or punished by him, she wouldn’t mind at all.

After hitching a ride home with a male classmate, Tong Keke found herself standing at the entrance to the hospital.

She hesitated, debating whether she should call her uncle first—or surprise him instead.

Just as Tong Keke was caught in indecision, suddenly, a silver coupe sped out from the hospital gates.

Tong Keke’s small frame instinctively shrank back as she hid behind a nearby large tree.

Wasn’t that her uncle’s car?

Where was he going at this time?

Tong Keke’s heart suddenly surged with emotion. She hastily jumped into a nearby waiting taxi. "Driver, please follow that silver coupe ahead. Thank you!"

The taxi driver glanced at her. "Young lady, do you have money for the fare?"

"I do! Please hurry up—I have something urgent..."

The taxi driver, seeing her finely dressed and clearly not from a poor family, immediately slammed on the gas pedal and followed.

Tong Keke’s pair of bright, beautiful eyes flashed as she stared unblinkingly at the coupe ahead.

Her heart was a mess of emotions—was her uncle going to see someone?

Could it be a woman?

Tong Keke thought that her uncle was certainly old enough to marry and start a family. Maybe he really was on a date with a woman.

A sharp pang suddenly struck her heart, causing unbearable pain.
